‘Hanblee’ sheds light on a shocking vehicle crash incident.

On the 4th at 8:50 PM, JTBC’s ‘Han Moon-cheol’s Black Box Review’ (hereafter ‘Hanblee’) will focus on a vehicle crash that occurred last December at the Kkaebi Market in Mokdong, Seoul.

The CCTV footage released that day captures the shocking scene of a vehicle speeding down a downhill road, crashing into market stalls and pedestrians. The footage obtained by the fire department vividly records the market, which was instantly devastated, leaving everyone in shock. Ultimately, the news that 12 people were injured and one merchant died casts a pall of sadness over the studio.

The ‘Hanblee’ production team visits the accident site to share the heartbreaking testimonies of market vendors. The first witness recalls, “At first, I thought it was an explosion,” reflecting on the chaotic situation at the time, while another vendor adds to the shock by testifying that the 70-year-old driver who caused the accident said, “Did I do something wrong?”

In particular, the revelation that the offending driver was diagnosed with dementia two years ago and had not taken medication for ten months ignites the panel's anger. When the boss of a young man who passed away in the accident, who had worked with him for ten years, tearfully describes him as “a positive and kind employee,” Song Hae-na expresses her sorrow, saying, “It’s so sad that the offender doesn’t even remember the situation.”

Additionally, ‘Hanblee’ introduces a bizarre episode captured on the road. The black box footage released that day shows a man completely naked confidently strutting down a rural road in the freezing winter at minus 10 degrees Celsius in front of a driving vehicle. In response, the ‘Hanblee’ production team visits the scene to uncover the identity of the mysterious ‘naked man,’ further piquing the viewers' curiosity.

Meanwhile, the broadcast will feature model and broadcaster Song Hae-na alongside Emma from the rookie girl group ‘Bad Villain.’
